Match yesterday....Reds v Greens
5 minutes to go Reds are on the attack, greens step up leaving Red 9 in an offside position..
Red 10 plays the ball towards Red 9 who moves towards the ball and is about to play it until Red 10 says 'leave it' at this point Red 9 is about to take control of the ball........Assistant flags offside
First Question....Was Red 9 active as he went to play the ball and interfered with play??
Ref blows his whistle Green defenders and keeper stop play
Red 10 goes through and puts the ball into the net.......linesman says Red 10 wasnt the one offside.
Referee then awards a goal, when asked by the manager about blowing his whistle and stopping play he said ' The laws of the game say I can change my decision at any point until I restart.'
